| Abstract | Background: Congenital hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders, with 50–70% of cases attributable to genetic causes. Although recent advances in the identification of deafness genes have resulted in more accurate molecular diagnosis, leading to the better determination of suitable clinical interventions, difficulties remain with regard to clinical applications due to the extreme genetic heterogeneity of deafness. Aim: Toward more effective genetic testing, we adopted Massively Parallel DNA Sequencing (MPS) of target genes using an Ion PGM™ system and an Ion AmpliSeq™ panel to diagnose common mutations responsible for deafness and discover rare causative gene mutations. Before its clinical application, we investigated the accuracy of MPS-based genetic testing. Results: We compared the results of Invader assay-based genetic screening, the accuracy of which has already been verified in previous studies, with those of MPS-based genetic testing for a large population of Japanese deafness patients and revealed that over 99.98% of the results were the same for each genetic testing system. Conclusion: The Ion Personal Genome Machine system had sufficient uniformity and accuracy for application to the clinical diagnosis of common causative mutations and efficiently identified rare causative mutations and/or mutation candidates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
